SHUT THE FRONT DOOR- was hired today to interview one of my creative heroes- Film Director Robert Zemeckis (Forest Gump, Back to the Future, Cast Away, Allied, The Walk, Polar Express, Who Killed Roger Rabbit)!!

In 2005 (12 years ago!), I timidly gave him the 3 short films I wrote | directed | produced | edited, collectively on a DVD. Months later when I completely forgot he promised to watch them- he sent me a letter in the mail, encouraging and thanking ME for letting him watch them. When I was a shy newbie filmmaker, he was unbelievably kind and wonderful.

​So next week when I see him, I'm going to bring him the letter he mailed me...and will try not to goober all over him. Needless to say, I'm so thrilled!!
